Do you know who played the lead in “The Boy Detective, or the Abductors Foiled”?

Adding: “Breaking Silence” on Janis Ian.

“Judy” (2019; Renee Zellweger as Judy Garland) and “Maria” (2019; Angelina Jolie as Maria Callas)

"We, the students of Albert Einstein HS...are calling for immediate action to improve pedestrian safety along University Blvd W, Connecticut Ave, & Veirs Mill Rd. These roads are part of our everyday lives...But every time we use them, we’re put at risk."

PS. None of the above will save anyone’s life. But it may very well embolden yet another driver to driver less responsibly & or another transportation pro to blame road users for infrastructure flaws.
